Costumes made/modeled by Yaya between 1999 - now.

Yuri - Dirty Pair (Classic)

Why I chose to make this costume:

This was a fun little project for a friend and me when we felt like doing something together. We were told that we resemble the characters tremendously so why not?

How I made this costume:

My Kei (Stephanie) made her costume first, then sent me the pattern she used - already altered, making my life very easy and the costumes look almost completely matching. I was only able to find stretch vinyl but it suited the costume well in the end. The piping was all hand-done, and Stephanie made my earrings, gun including gun.

Thoughts on this costume:

Having a perfect Kei to go along with Yuri was very fun indeed. The poses we struck were hilarious! I have also been able to use my costume in two promotions already and every time the crowd loves it.
